The LENTEN SEASON USHERED In.
Balls, Parties and Receptions Occurring the
Past Week.
PROMISES FOR The FUTURE

12S
Ash Wednesday has come and ushered
in the solemn season when people are sup
posed 10 fast. The more giddy social
pleasures are prohibited during this season
by those denominations not opposed TO
dancing and card playing on general prln-
ciples. and the followers Of these religions
are pretty careful to carry out the rules OF
their churches. While this is SO, 1t Is a
noticeable fact that the followers OF those
faiths which frOwn down such WORLDLY
social pleasures as they term them, at all
times and places, are most careless OF the
rules regulating their church, because
dancing and card playing are the leading
pastimes in society and if these people do
not care about being wall flowers and
making themselves social bores they are
going TO indulge in the fun whether 1t IS
overstepping the bounds or not. And no
one can blame them. On the other hand
people who observe Lent are seldom found
violating the dictates Of their church's
ritual. except sometimes all on the quiet.
As far rs these two amusements are con-
cerned all denominations may as well
diyest them of the sinful garb they are
made to wear for neither time nor man
have succeeded in abOlishing or even
diminishing the lustre of either, and both
are in as high favor now as ever they were,
and are liable To remain 50.
1t cannot be said that the week Just
ended has been 80 awfully dull, or so very
boisterous, speaking of ii in a social sense,
and the coming week does not give promise
of much amusement, although several little
informal card parties. like one given on
Thursday evening by Nine. d'Auria to q
few friends, are booked to occur, and they
are very enjoyable. Cribbage has become
quite a popular fashionable game, and it is
superseding euchre to some extent at these
quiet little affairs. 1t will be much played
during the Lenten season.
A large and fashionable afternoon tea is
rumored to be on the taps for the near flu
ture, and those who know OF 1t anticipate
its coming with pleasure.
Our society young mel will no doubt
learn with horror that bOutORaierGS in New
York are worn almost rs large rs Il mans
hand. 1t seems that the larger they are
the more fashionable, and the stems are
tied with 4 how OF blue ribbon. That will
be nice!
That popular organization, the "kOOken
Klub," composed of a number of young
society people, entertained their friends
last Monday evening at Franzheim's Hall,
in "a very delightful manner, compliment
ary 10 Miss Ladie Kitchener, of Washing
ton. ID. c., who is visiting friends in the
city. The dance was one Of the begin
extraordinarily ones, and this in addition
TO the fact that it was the last before Lent
and given in honor of such Il charming
Young lady, made it more than ordinarily
ENJOYABLE. Prof. Charley Killmeyer furn-
ished' his usual charming music, and the
merry party made good use of it until one
o'clock, when they all dispersed TO their
